This book arose out of a conference organized and supported
by the United Nations University (UNU) project on 'Peace and Global
Transformation' in 1985 which brought researchers from the South-East Asian and
Pacific regions together to discuss the problem of conflict over natural
resources and its interlinkage with various aspects of the contemporary crisis
in economic and social development.

We would like to acknowledge the assistance and encouragement
given by Professor K. Mushakogi, Dr J. Golebiowski, and Dr T. Uchida from the
UNU staff and Professor R. Kothari and Dr G. Deshingkar from the Peace and
Global Transformation project of the UNU. We are also grateful to our respective
institutions, Universiti Sains Malaysia (Penang) and the University of Malaya
(Kuala Lumpur) in the case of Lim and the East-West Center in the case of
Valencia, for supporting our involvement in the project and its output.

We would like to thank Dennis Lau for kindly giving us
